First post of a long time lurker.
So I currently own a pair of Grado SR80i and Sennheiser HD600 headphones (both purchased by long research on this forum). Absolutely love them both but certainly the HD`s are my favorite. The question I have, is the AKG K550 anything like either of these headphones specifically the HD`s. I am going to buy some cans for my work (standard cubicle jungle environment). They need to be closed back and leak little sound.
My problem is that researching the K550`s I have come across so much conflicting info via here and many other sites. Some saying that the bass is akin to D2k`s and others saying they are seriously tinny. I am really just curious if they are comparable at all sound to HD 600`s or the Grado sound. I have never listened to any AKG headphones at all.
When it comes to music I listen too its pretty much everything under the sun, from classical to death metal and beyond.
Thanks for any input or other suggestions that may be a better fit. Willing to spend up to 400$.
